Ben Kumar’s note
Microsoft's Browser is the best on Windows and is slightly behind on Android. But it is smooth and user friendly and syncs well with the windows version. Lacks bottom address bar and a more granular control of adblockers.

Key features that made me make Vivaldi the primary Android browser are Dark Mode for web contents, Adblocker with filter lists, Bottom Adress bar, Cloud Sync, Dynamic themes that adapt to the website and notepad.
